With nominations coming
tomorrow, Oscar.com
is unveiling a complete digital roadmap to all things "Oscar Sunday," providing
fans with exclusive insider access to The Oscars before, during and after the
show. The site is live now with:

•"Inside The
Oscars" - From the nominations to the nominees' luncheon and the show
itself, this new semi-weekly video series hosted by "On The Red Carpet" host
and "Good Morning America" contributing editor Rachel Smith will share access
to top-secret production details and behind-the-scenes event coverage leading
up to "Oscar Sunday."

In this first installment, Academy insiders give fans the
scoop on everything involved in nominations, including how the nominations list
is protected, what goes on inside the theater, how the hosts reveal the names
of the nominees and more.

•"Oscar Buzz," which features fan commentary using #Oscars,
#OscarNoms, and #BestDressed.

•The Oscar timeline, which includes historical video and
photos of past winners, memorable moments and juicy tidbits celebrating every
single year of The Oscars.

Beginning Jan. 16, the
site is dedicated to this year's nominees, with programming sponsored by
Cadillac that includes an embeddable nominations live steam, the complete list
of nominees, and the popular "My Picks" interactive ballot. Friends can view
and share the ballot on Facebook, which will update in real time on "Oscar
Night," ensuring the most competitive Oscar handicappers are instantly aware of
their ranking among friends.

On "Oscar Sunday," the
site will highlight the Emmy-winning Oscar "Backstage Pass," which will be
streamed online and to mobile devices this year as part of ABC's
industry-defining multiplatform. Oscar "Backstage Pass" gives fans
unprecedented access to the show through multiple live camera feeds placed
throughout the show venue and streamed online and on mobile devices. Previously
available as a standalone Oscar app, "Backstage Pass" will stream to mobile
devices via the WATCH ABC app (formerly ABC Player).

The 86th Academy Awards
nominations will be announced live tomorrow at 5:30 a.m. PT/8:30 a.m. ET in the
Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.

Academy Awards for
outstanding film achievements of 2013 will be presented Sunday, March 2, at the
Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and televised live on the ABC
Television Network. The presentation, produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron,
also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories
worldwide.
